Thank you for being vulnerable. The questions where you shared the complexity of mourning one relationship with your wife, but cherishing this new one as a unit of three really spoke to me.

The way I smiled when I saw that Marc was answering Five Big Questions this week!

Marc, your responses were so honest and thoughtful. Perhaps my favorite part: even though our lives look quite different on paper, everything you shared felt so...relatable. It's a testament to how beautifully you write about the human experience—something we all have in common!

"People on this planet live their whole lives trying to experience what it means to give and receive love. They search hard, and many times come up empty. I feel incredibly privileged and lucky to get to experience this every waking moment" I couldn't agree more, Marc! I often can't believe I'm lucky enough to have found a man I absolutely adore, adores me, and we get to love each other. Thanks for putting it into words

Marc, you know I feel so deeply with you on so much of this. And you’re so right about not being able to rationalize your feelings. They just are. Just as they need to be. 🧡 Such a delight to see you featured here!

Grateful for you, Kaitlyn. It's something I'm still learning every day. Sometimes, in theory, it makes sense, but in real-time, it's really hard to remember. But I know you know this already, considering you're clearly an amazing therapist.

I love this newsletter and love a good AMA! Here goes:

How did you have the courage to train for a full marathon, I'm working on my 4th half and still am intimidated by a full.

How is actually living in New York better and worse than what people think?

How do you not get caught up in the 'what will it look like in the end' when you're starting something new?

How do you keep going? I often start something, doubt it, pause, question, and realize nothing is being made. How do you consistently create material without over thinking it?

Have you ever encountered people in your personal life signing up for your newsletter that you'd rather not read it?

THANKS!
